A properly ballasted (additional weight, wheel weights, loaded tires or on the 3 pt) stout older type of utility size tractor like some that have been mentioned will work for pushing off loose material, rear 3pt box blade works nice on loose material, little at a time, if you are cutting and filling, scarifier on that box blade can help, but all this depends on soil conditions, degree of slope you are working on etc. 4wd is better but this work can be hard on them too, even if you take it easy, again, soil conditions, and your skills are something to consider. Something like this, depending on size of the job can be done much more efficiently and quickly with equipment suited for the work, check out the local rental house, dozer, excavator and or a rubber tire backhoe, get it done, 1 day rental won't ruin a tractor budget much, will save all those hours on whatever you buy, for work you'll be doing with the same tractor, after the earthwork is done, it can be rough on a tractor, lot of variables that dictate how much. I've often considered similar tasks with a tractor or equipment that is a little outclassed for the work, but most of the time, renting something suited for the work wins.
